Devon County Council (DCC) are delivering a key piece of infrastructure on behalf of Teignbridge District Council (TDC) in the Shutterton area of Dawlish (Grid Ref – 296289, 78512). Homes England are an interested party.

The scheme will provide a section of new link road, through a green field site, which will eventually join up with 3rd party infrastructure and housing deliveries.

DCC’s scheme extends on from the first section of link road that has been built by Persimmon Homes.

The “Dawlish HiF (Housing Infrastructure Fund)” scheme that DCC are

delivering includes, but not limited to, the construction of:

• A 26m span highway bridge
• Approximately 110m of highway embankments on the approaches to the bridge, including carriageway and foot/cycle paths
• Approximately 360m of at grade carriageway
• Surface water and foul water drainage features
• Drainage basins, swale and associated items
• Ecological mitigation enhancement features
• Landscaping
• Fencing

DCC will deliver the full scope of the works in connection with the delivery of the infrastructure between CH310 to CH800, on behalf of TDC.

DCC and TDC had the option to deliver a reduced scope of works (CH310-440 only) only if the Tender offered by all Tenderer’s for the full scope of the works was above the available funding budget available or below the minimum quality or TDC Full Council did not approve the additional funding to allow for its award.

In addition, DCC could not award all or some of the lots until the necessary Land and Highways Agreements had been secured.

The maximum funding available for the works is £4,900,000.00. The maximum funding available for the reduced scope of works, in the eventuality that additional funding was not approved by TDC, is £3,700,000.00.

The Procurement had been divided into Lots. Tenderers could bid for one or more of the following lots:

Lot 1 Bridge and Spine Road (Entire scheme CH310-800) - Additional Funding This includes for the entire scheme works in accordance with the entirety of the Contract Documents. Therefore, the delivery of all features within the Contract Documents in connection to the delivery of infrastructure between Chainages 310 and 800.

These works are consented under Planning Consents References 21/02872/FUL and 21/02674/MAJ.

Lot 2 Bridge works alone (Reduced scheme CH310-440 only) - Additional Funding and Lot 3 Bridge works alone (Reduced scheme CH310-440 only)

If TDC did not approve the additional funding required to deliver Lot 1 or 2, DCC expected to appoint 1 Contractor for Lot 3 instead.
